Lee Friedlander

I really like Friedlander’s photography although his reflection images superimpose each other as he does self-portraits including reflections. I also like how he captures different people in different ways, however still using the reflections to capture a different dynamic of street photography. Like a lot of reflection photography, Friedlander photographs in black and white; which I think helps the audience connect with the reflections more as colour does not distract your eyes from the focal point.

Hopefully, I can emulate some of these techniques into my photography as reflections is a new idea for me that i have never tried or utilised before – which is quite exciting.
